“Easy as that” I’m crying 😭

[@DOSGamer2001]

1:47 For SCPH-9000x users: any systems with a datecode of 8B or earlier will work with Free McBoot. Some 8C systems also work, and it's usually the P chassis systems that work. The way to find the chassis is in the lower right corner of the model number sticker. To the left of FOXC is the letter for the chassis. Edit: Any datecodes with a number less than 7 indicate being manufactured in 2010 or later, whereas 7-9 were manufactured 2007-2009. Edit 2: For the special PS2 models, the BRAVIA TVs sold in Europe with a built-in PS2 don't work with FMCB without FORTUNA, and the Japan-exclusive PSX does work with FMCB; however, a special PSX install is needed, and I don't think FreeDVDBoot works with PSX consoles.

[@MrMario2011]

Good to know!

[@vedangdanej]

Mine says R on the left of FOXC. Will it work with mine?

[@cameron9688]

Successfully installed on my 90002 8B PAL system, using a 64mb aftermarket memory card.

[@DOSGamer2001]

@@vedangdanej R chassis systems usually don't work, but an R chassis system was found with the older, unpatched Version 2.20 BIOS. If it doesn't work (which is likely), an alternative is the FORTUNA project. A good read for Free McBoot compatibility is www.ps2-home.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5341

[@DOSGamer2001]

I should also add that the chassis method is the only way to find if a 9000x system from a region with no datecodes is FMCB compatible.

This was an excellent guide - thank you! I had a few glitches along the way. First was nothing showing up under MASS (my USB drive). Not sure if it was formatted properly to begin with (I did it on Mac OS), and then once it was formatted properly I think the USB just plain sucked - it would mount, but I couldn't see anything in there, and then when I could see something in there it would disappear (it was the USB stick - Kingston - grrr). After I got that sorted out (8GB SD card with a card reader), my issue was that OPL would black screen and freeze. Turns out I ran out of room on my Memory card and the full ELF file wasn't there. Oops! All good now!

[@irishtiger2000]

Around 2 months back, I bought an FMCB memory card, I waited for ten years before buying it and now this exploit comes out. Anyway, Great video as usual.

[@tnaplastic2182]

Just a correction... You haven't bought FREE MC Boot, but a MemoryCard. "FMCB MemoryCard"... That's just an "FMCB'ed" normal MemoryCard still, with a special "save" on it and the software itself is free, hence you only bought the hardware and if it costs more than 10€, it's basically a rip off, ESPECIALLY when it is a Chinese Clone-MC.

When I burned the DVD and plugged it into my PS2, it just gets stuck on Reading Disc... is it because of my ImgBurn settings or the type of the DVD? I have an SCPH-75004 with the DVD Player version of 3.11E but I really don't know what I should do. I also set the reading speed to 4x.

DVD-R seems to be the best option. Burn it slow, set the language to English on the menu, and also try to play an actual DVD movie you might have on there before to make sure it is properly initialized.

alright I found out what caused the never-ending Reading Disc... issue, turns out there wasn't really a physical connection between the console's disc reading laser and the disc itself.

When I try this my ps2 says cant read disc

[@gerigeri5976]

Yeah,me too

[@mrnac5]

Same

[@konkak9983]

so if you done installing fmcb, you don't need the cd anymore?

[@antwars3602]

i tried on 2 different ps2s one said could not read disc and the other just gets stuck at a black screen.

[@Onehellofaprizefighter]

Thank you for this. When I was a kid, I used to have the fat ps2. Brand new and within two years it stopped reading discs. As a kid I didn't know how to fix this so my parents got me a slim and i swear the slim never gave me any problems. Lasted 7 years. As I reached adulthood I had to sell all my games and consoles because I was struggling financially. Flashforward to 2020 I buy a used fat ps2. It also wasn't reading many discs AND the power supply died. I looked up how to fix it and replaced the power supply (as well as calibrate the laser). It's running great, except it has the occasional disc read error. Upon discovering this softmod I burned all my games via HdDump(b) into a 2T hard drive. Also saves some wear and tear on my games and the laser.

Beautiful. The best stories to hear are ones like this.

[@susii3398]

Easy, just need a couple of items... Shit, where is my Dad's old memory card?

[@JaminWarrenPMS]

Why don't you put opl in the apps folder of free mcboot when making the usb for installing freemcboot so it will put it on the memory card automatically?

[@TimelordUK]

I'm confused by this too

[@애니프사]

*PRESENT DAY PROBLEM* NO MORE OPTICAL DRIVES ON DESKTOP AND LAPTOPS LOL

[@MrMario2011]

Gotta get that external drive, dawg.

[@NickXabias]

@@MrMario2011 or buy an adaptor for 3-4 dollars and use an old dvd drive :P

[@theycalledmestreetki]

Hey, I was doing the exact same thing u did until the 20:00min mark but when I try to open OPL nothing happens its just a black screen. Do you know what I can do?

[@mjc4567]

Did you figure out what was wrong cause I have the same problem

[@Marko.POLO.]

Pov: you don't know where to find a DVD in 2022

[@nayoniaxd]

In Romania you can easily find even 7 inch flopy

[@TAMPATLBLACK]

Do I need to install the multi region if I wanna play Japanese games on my US PS2? or just the regular install like you did ?

[@MrMario2011]

Regular

[@jeromievalenzuela2190]

come on 3.00 :D

[@daviddominguez1157]

​@TheEpicRock3099 works?

[@CarloLeones]

This method really works on my Phat PS2 SCPH-30000

[@HDbacon]

Damn I was your other video first and bought all the stuff ah well, I don't mind. Both seem fairly simple enough. Waiting for the stuff to arrive now
